【Breath of the Wild】HAPPY ZELDA DAY! First time playing BoTW

Summary

The stream begins with Grey Yuuka reacting to a newly revealed Ocarina of Time remake trailer. She praises its graphics and details, and comments on returning items, flying, fishing, and the possibility of voice-acted cutscenes. She then does a quick round of Pokedoku before starting Breath of the Wild for the first time.

Story and progress

• Link awakens after a long slumber in the Shrine of Resurrection and receives a Sheikah Slate.
• On the Great Plateau, he learns that Calamity Ganon threatens Hyrule. An old man directs him toward several shrines and promises a paraglider in exchange for help.
• Playing on Master Mode, Grey explores the plateau, gathers supplies, and completes three shrines, unlocking Magnesis, remote bombs, and Stasis. She plans to continue to the remaining shrine in a later stream.

Gameplay highlights and tips

Early exploration involves collecting food, weapons, arrows, mushrooms, and monster parts. Grey experiments with cooking apples, mushrooms, and spicy peppers; spicy dishes provide cold resistance.

Weapons have durability and break, so combat requires managing equipment. Bombs and the environment can help knock enemies away, though Master Mode enemies regenerate health. Shrine abilities open up new ways to explore and solve puzzles: Magnesis moves metal objects, bombs can clear obstacles, and Stasis freezes objects temporarily.

Combat tips discussed or learned include:

• Headshots deal extra damage to bow-wielding enemies.
• Dodging at the right moment can trigger a flurry rush; two-handed weapons can also perform a charged spin attack.
• Sneaking behind an enemy for a backstab can deal greatly increased damage.
• Axes and hammers are useful for breaking crates without wasting a better weapon.
• Throwing a weapon deals extra damage but breaks it immediately.

Grey repeatedly tries to challenge a powerful Lynel before she has suitable gear, but its attacks prove overwhelming. She decides to leave it for later rather than spend more resources on an early fight.
